Objectives

To provide a forum for academics and industrialists to discuss and disseminate recent developments,
innovations and advances in metal forming processes. The conference will be an opportunity for those
working in physical and numerical modelling, as well as those involved in industrial applications of
the results of theoretical research.

The Conference

Metal Forming 2016 is the 16th in a series of International Conferences organized since 1974 by AGH
Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza in Kraków, Poland. From 1994 to 2010 the Conference was organized biannually,
jointly with the University of Birmingham, UK. The latter was replaced by the University of Toyohashi
in 2010, when the Conference went, for the first time, to Japan. Metal Forming 2012 was organized in
Kraków, Poland by AGH Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza, together with the University of Toyohashi and,
for the first time, by the University of Palermo, Italy, which has joined the Organization team,
and hosted the Conference in 2014. Over 200 regular papers and 6 specially invited keynote lectures
are expected.
